Cornelia Stabenowová Rousseau CZ
Henri Rousseau, francúzsky maliar, bol svojim pôvodným zamestnaním colník. Maľoval ako amatér. V jeho obrazoch sa spája naivná forma podania s prenikavým maliarskym a básnickým videním. Maľoval svoje okolie i vysnívané exotické námety.

Cornelia Stabenow Rousseau EN
Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) sa po prvý krát objavil na verejnosti ako skrachovaný cirkusový tanečník. Prichádza do Paríža, kde pod vplyvom vtedajšej umeleckej smotánky začína ako samouk, laik maľovať. S istou dávkou naivity, ale s vlastným silným subjektívnym nádychom vytvára figurálne kompozície, pohľady na krajinu, v neskorej fáze svojej tvorby aj zobrazenia džungle, ktorú nikdy nenavštívil. Džungľu maľuje ako…

Fancois Louvard, Lazlo Hamlin Roy Stuart 5. EN
In the 20th century, when pornography made its debut in the film world with its aura of improvisation and amateurishness, it had a caustic challenging quality, a freshness and a natural authenticity. By becoming industrialized and codified, it then let itself be confined in the twofold ghetto of distribution and its related rituals, churning out a pantomime of crude, unexciting, formatted images. Eroticism has…

Alison Castle Saturday Night Live EN
On October 11, 1975 at 11:30 p.m., NBC viewers who tuned in to the network's new late night show saw a sketch featuring John Belushi repeating, in a thick foreign accent, nonsensical phrases about wolverines being read to him by head writer Michael O'Donohue. Abruptly, O'Donohue clutched his heart and collapsed onto the floor. Belushi paused, raised his eyebrow, and then did the same. Posing as the stage manager,…
